Leucojum aestivum, the so called "Summer Snowflake" is in flower here in mid-winter.
In southern Australia it is the most common of these snowflakes/snowdrops and is often offered instead of galanthus by unknowing retailers! If "snowdrops" are offered cheaply you can expect to get these instead!

This lovely little plant was sold to me as Acis autumnalis 'Autumn splendour', although I don't know what the 'Autumn splendour' bit is all about! It's come into flower on the rockery now. It's been there a couple of years and is a most delicate-looking little thing.

Acis valentina has been blooming for a week or so after the frame got soaked in a thunderstorm.
